This is by far his BEST solo ever. We all can play Comfortably Numb or Sorrow or On the Turning Away. Little bit of practice you can figure it out and play. This solo.... Bring Jeff Beck let him try... Nobody could play this solo. Forget about Slash or whoever you think is the best guitarist. This solo cannot be replicated. It is the best it can get. And that Tele... From the very first Tele to today, no other Tele sounded like this. Melted our hearts, screamed like this. I'm sure after this solo that white Tele said finally someone who can actually play!!! This is the best guitar solo ever. Not the album version, not any other version. This is it. We will never hear anything like this ever again. We're all so lucky to be able to listen to this masterpiece.
@@5yearsout I agree that this is a great solo, however I have to go with the studio version. That version is a little less "rocking" but it is filled with emotion and soul unlike any other Gilmour solo. This version is absolutely great and he is improvising quite a bit, but there is just "something" about the studio version that just penetrates my soul like no other. It is like it is telling a story. Also, the studio version is held together by the absolutely awesome bass line and lap steel guitar. Both played by DG as well. Long live the great David Gilmour!!!
The reason that solo can never be replicated exactly is that there is only one Dave Gilmour. He created music like nobody else. It certainly is the most evocative solo of all time.
You rarely ever here Gilmour rip a solo to an upbeat song and also in a major key. And he most definitely killed it here. Gilmour, hands down has the best phrasing on guitar in contemporary music.
You all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Yosef Reese i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Back in the day when Richard was alive and jamming like there was no tomorrow. One hell of a performance and the guitar solo at the end is one of the greatest piece of music ever made. David Gilmour ❤️
In this case, for Richard, there really was no tomorrow, sadly, this being his last live performance. At least he left it all on the stage and went out on a high note.
I can listen to David Gilmour play guitar 24 hours a day and never grow tired of him. The soul and emotion is unequaled. There are many other great guitarists I enjoy listening to, but none compare to the one and ONLY David Gilmour. The solo in this song is unlike any other guitar work I've heard him play. The tone is amazing!
The casual way he just starts that incredible solo at 03:30, knowing the expectations that everyone at the concert would have, people who grew up with this song... This guy just knows he is pure genius, one of the best that has ever been. And then he just delivers.
My favorite thing about David Gilmour: if you watch him play with no sound, you wouldn't think that much music would be coming out of his fingers as smooth and effortlessly as he picks.
Mr Gilmour brightens up our lives. I want this to be known for eternity. This man is GIVING his guitars worth millions for charity after giving us so much joy. He is a superman AND supermusician.
I will always love this solo at the top of my Gilmour list. It's probably his "jammin-est" improv effort that I have ever come across. Love the smile at 5:34 when he knows it sounded just right.
Gilmour's haunting voice always gets me, no matter what he sings. It's one of those voices that gets in your head, and you can't get it out. It's other-worldly, to try to describe it.
Just imagine it's the first day of summer, you look out of the window, see the green hills the river glistening in the sun, you are high as a kite and eating ice-cream listening to this glorious track.
Watched and listened to David perform this last night at the Hollywood Bowl and he BLEW THE PLACE UP!! it was amazing! Thank you David, it was the fulfillment of a life long dream to finally see you play live!
+Matt Howard, I was also at the Monday show at the United Center. Never heard this song performed I was only familiar the Atom Heart Mother studio version. This blew my socks off. I had to find a similar recording. Seems like I wasn't the only one.
+lrdavid22g YES!! He has really developed this song into a masterpiece from the original studio version released in the 70's. Seeing it live made a lasting and permanent memory for me, something I will never forget!
A mio modesto parere (ma sono aperto ovviamente ad opinioni di segno opposto e a dibatterne) Atom Heart Mother potrebbe essere considerato un manifesto della corrente della musica progressive; inoltre costituirebbe l'apice della vena creativa dei Pink Floyd in direzione della sperimentazione (avendo virato verso un diverso tipo di prog già da "The dark side of the moon": sia chiaro, gli album dei Pink Floyd mi piacciono tutti, davvero tutti, e il giudizio sul cambio di stile compositivo non vuol essere una critica, solo un prendere atto soggettivamente parlando che qualcosa è cambiato nella loro musica dopo AHM), un album che (per le idee che contiene) mostra una tendenziale deviazione del gruppo verso una musica d'avanguardia che, nel caso si fosse affermata, avrebbe avuto quali proemi album (oltre questo) per esempio "Concert for group and orchestra" (Deep Purple), "Concerto grosso" (composto da Louis Bacalov e eseguito/inciso dagli italiani New Trolls), "Abbiamo tutti un blues da piangere" (Il Perigeo), "In The Court of the Crimson King" (King Crimson), "Storia di un minuto" (PFM/Premiata Forneria Marconi) "Emerson, Lake and Palmer" e tanti tanti altri, tutti album connotati da continue contaminazioni fra blues, rock, jazz, musica classica e sinfonica. Se si aggiunge il frequente ricorso ai concept album (cito qualche titolo che mi ha colpito moltissimo, e che è passato a mio parere sotto silenzio: -Idee di oggi per la musica di domani (composto dagli Stormy Six) -Inferno (dei Metamorfosi) -Darwin! (del gruppo Banco del Mutuo Soccorso) -Collage (de Le Orme) si vede come letteratura e musica, senza dimenticare l'arte figurativa (come le splendide copertine degli LP prodotte a cavallo dei '60 e '70), avrebbero potuto fondersi in una corrente transnazionale e votata alla mistura e alchimia di generi artistici (senza contare che gruppi come Pink Floyd, Osanna, Goblin hanno persino sperimentato la fusione con la settima arte, il cinema, alcuni con successo, altri riscuotendo assai meno lodi). Se dei gruppi rock riprendessero in mano questo filone sarei il primo a cominciare per la prima volta a fare la fila nei negozi con entusiasmo per comprare dischi che non siano stati incisi esclusivamente dopo il 1994 (l'anno di The Division Bell, disco in cui non si possono certo rintracciare echi di quella temperie culturale di cui poc'anzi parlavo: semplicemente, se si escludono le raccolte e i greatest hits, è l' LP più recente di cui mi sia piaciuto oltre il 90% dei brani) e a non consumare solo i dischi di quel mito della cultura musicale che è mio padre, che ringrazio ogi giorno per avermi cresciuto con musica come questa. Spero che la prosa abbia illustrato abbastanza chiaramente cosa intendo.
His singing here is so more expressive than on the original, experience and age i guess. Wonderful.And then he turns it into a rocker with his dazzling guitar work. I wish Dave Gilmour would do another tour featuring more wonderful old Floyd tracks going back to Astronomy Domine up through More and Obscured by Clouds
This song makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up this song is just so good and what a solo you dont get better than this david your a guitar legend
The rhythm guitar player is a guitar genius in his own right, the incredible Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music. Every bit as good as Gilmour. What an incredible band.
Does anybody else keeps rewinding from 1:50 and playing over and over again? His voice is so calming and touches the heart making you transcend to another place.
FACT - THIS SIMPLY HAS TO BE AS GOOD A PERFORMANCE AS DAVID GILMOUR HAS EVER PRODUCED LIVE. Great musicians in the band too of course. WE ALL SALUTE YOU. SIMPLY AWESOME STUFF FROM AN EXTREMELY TALENTED MUSICIAN.
Esta versión la he escuchado 1000 veces y siempre me eriza la piel, amo el sentimiento que transmite Gilmour con sus viejas guitar I´ve heard this version 1000 times and always I GET GOOSEBUMPS, I love the feeling that he transmits when plays that old guitar.
"I’d rather hear Dave Gilmour playing one note and break my heart, than hearing Joe Satriani playing 300 notes and not touch me in any way at all." - Steven Wilson Here, Gilmour plays 3000 notes and shatters our hearts.
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evenin' birds are calling Summer's thunder time of year Summer Sunday and a year The sound of music in my ears Distant bells New mown grass smells so sweet By the river holding hands Roll me up and lay me down And if you see Don't make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange A silver sound from a tongue so strange Sing to me Sing to me
So many of the living guitar greats have lost an edge over time. But Gilmour always gains such an energetic edge with every new performance. RIP Rick Wright.
Rare is the song that sounds better live, than it did when the original studio version was first released decades earlier. This is one of those gems. So great to see that Richard Wright was along for Gilmour's tour. R.I.P. Rick.
Magnifique David Gilmour..... Il nous emmène si loin en nous apaisant. Pour moi le meilleur guitariste au monde et Pink Floyd le meilleur groupe👍👍👍🙆🙆🙆💙
Meu Deus!!!!!!!! Ouvir David Gilmour e todos esses músicos incríveis me faz tão feliz! Passei a amar guitarra depois de conhecê-lo. Beijos de São Paulo!
3:33 I just love it when he looks across at the other guitarists, "Okay, boys, let's rock this on home." AND the grins on their faces. You can just tell they are DIGGING playing with the master. The only thing wrong with that guitar solo is that it should have gone on for about 20 more minutes.
My favorite song off the Atom Heart Mother album . I saw dear old Rick Wright in the band . Great piano player . Another of my heroes that we have lost .
Such a huge catalog of music to choose from. That he can take an obscure song from one of Pink Floyd’s more obscure albums and do THIS with it… just incredible. I love seeing Dave play the old Pink Floyd stuff.
To everyone else, there are 3 Floyd albums that are NOT obscure. To the band members, only the last 3 of their initial run that were basically Roger's first solo albums are obscure, lol. I'll change my mind when I hear David jamming to Two Suns in the Sunset 😅
I've listened to many different versions of this song since I was a kid in the 1980s. There are many variations of course but I think this is the nicest overall live recording of Fat Ol' Sun I've ever heard! Thanks to whoever posted it and thanks to youtube for carrying it.
Desde quando ouvi essa cancao pela primeira vez percebi que era uma musica especial... Muitos se suicidam por terem mil problemas pessoais... Músicas e solos como este magnifico Fat Old Sun podem salvar muitas vidas. Vale a pena viver quando se é capaz de sentir a profundidade de músicas de verdade... obrigado Gilmour e toda banda sejam Floyds ou Não... Sing to me... Sing to me... Sing to me... Fabulous...!!!
What a solo!!! This is great even by Dave's standards, what amazing feel this guy has. The way it builds and builds shows why some songs need to be heard live. Rick looks like he's loving it too, what an awesome pair.
God bless you David and the painful past in losing Syd... I feel the angst in all Floyd tunes true love to a genius.. Roger Keith Barrett you are never forgotten...
IMHO, after years of experience, he realized that the composition of this solo was not complete or too simple during the Gdańsk tour preparation and decided to end almost 40 years later what he started in the 70's. During that live, I have the feeling that he was sharing with the crowd the culmination of one of his work.
When I think of David's guitar work (live especially) 3 songs come immediately to mind. Fat Old Sun (Gdansk & Royal Albert Hall), On the Turning Away & Comfortably Numb ( Both Momentary Lapse of Reason & Delicate Sound of Thunder). Just incredible !!
There are many great guitar players out there but none of them can play a solo like David Gilmour. This song and Comfortablu Numb almost bring tears to my eyes even though I've heard them both a thousand times.
